My wife is frail and sickly

Chapter 9 The enemy of the banker next door
"Girl, the mountains are bare now. What's so good about it? Just wait a little longer. When spring comes and the wild flowers on the mountains bloom, it will be beautiful."

Erya tried hard to give up the girl's idea of ​​going up the mountain. The girl's body was too weak and she was gasping for breath every step of the way. She might not be able to walk until she reached the foot of the mountain.She was willing to carry the girl on her back, but it had just snowed and the road was slippery and difficult to walk on. It didn't matter if she fell herself, but what if she fell the girl?With such a small body, the girl is still falling apart?

After being here for so many days, Shen Xiaolou walked out of the courtyard for the first time.She was wearing a thick cotton coat, covering her head and face, with only a pair of eyes exposed. She was wrapped like a bear.

Looking far into the distance, you can see a white wilderness. At the end of the wilderness are dots of mountains. Tall trees grow on both sides of the road. All the dead leaves have fallen, leaving only branches swaying in the wind... All of this is full of desolation. , but Shen Xiaolou looked at it extremely greedily.

She took a deep breath, this world is so wonderful!Even the air smells so good!
"Girl, if you're really bored, just take a walk around here." Erya felt that her heart was about to be broken.

Shen Xiaolou just wanted to come out for some air, but he didn't have to go up the mountain, so he agreed, "Okay, let's go over there. There should be a thick layer of ice in the river over there. Let's go and have a look."

The original person had a particularly deep impression of this river in her memory. When Li's mother was away, she would sneak out to watch the children on the village skating on the river.She was too timid to skate, and she especially envied those brave children who could get up with a smile and continue skating even if they fell and got chewed up.

When Erya saw that she had agreed, she immediately ran back to the courtyard, broke a wooden stick, and handed it to her.

Shen Xiaolou was startled, what do you mean?
Erya said thoughtfully: "Girl, please hold it so that we can walk easily."

The corner of Shen Xiaolou's mouth twitched, "There's no need to be so exaggerated, right?" She wasn't even able to walk, "My cold is gone." After drinking so many heavenly medicines, she would go crazy no matter how bad it was.

"My mother asked me to pay more attention to you, saying that your body is just made of paper and will be blown away by a gust of wind." Erya held out her hands stubbornly.

Shen Xiaolou...

Boss Shen also has this day?Society is dead!

Forget it, bring me the stick. Can't she use it?
When they arrived at the river, Erya got on the ice and stepped on it hard with her feet, "It's quite thick." After walking around for a while, she came up and comforted Shen Xiaolou, "It's not fun, girl, actually it's not fun at all. "

Shen Xiaolou gave her a "Do you think I would believe it?" look, turned around and left, feeling very resentful in his heart: Oh, yes, yes, who made her body made of paper?It shattered when dropped...

Is the girl unhappy?Why is a girl acting like a child?Erya followed behind and sighed.

"Erya, where is that?" Shen Xiaolou suddenly stopped.

"Where?" Erya looked in the direction of her finger and said with a smile: "Oh, the girl said there, that's the Zhuangzi next door to us." Speaking of the Zhuangzi next door, Erya said more, "They Zhuangzi It's about the same size as our Zhuangzi, and the fields are close to each other, but people's harvests are far worse than ours." She looked proud.

"My father said it's not that their land is bad, but that their tenants in Zhuangzi are bad. They bully the master, who is a scholar, kind-hearted, and easy to talk to. They are sneaky and sneaky, not good at farming, and fool the master." There is something wrong here!Shen Xiaolou became interested and urged Erya, "Tell me more about it."

Erya continued: "My father said that the master was tall, thin, fair, and wearing a scholar's gown. He was very impressive. He greeted everyone he saw and had a good temper. But I have never seen him. I I have only met my father a few times. My father said that he is studying abroad and has no time to come back. The master does not come here often. As time goes by, don’t those tenants have evil thoughts? My father said that such people have bad character. , and they won’t let us play with their children.” She said it like an adult.

"Didn't he realize that he was cheated?" Shen Xiaolou asked.

"Then I don't know." Erya spread her hands, "Maybe he didn't notice it. He is a scholar, how can he know about things in the field? How much harvest is not allowed to be said by the tenants? Maybe he found it, and doesn't care about the three melons on Zhuangzi. Let's have a date. You think, if you can afford to study and study abroad, your family must be rich. Look, his house is made of blue bricks, and no one lives in such a good house. What a waste!"

Shen Xiaolou looked sideways, Erya could actually say such words, isn't he too precocious?If you think about it carefully, isn't that what Erya said?Most of the scholars in ancient times were indifferent to the four bodies and five grains, and they were still ignorant of dust.But no matter what the situation was, Shen Xiaolou felt that the owner of Zhuangzi next door was taken advantage of.

No matter how small a mosquito's legs are, they are still meat. How can one's own money be stolen by others?If anyone dared to touch the things in the small building, she would beat the shit out of that person.

Let’s just talk about Mother Li. Shen Xiaolou didn’t beat her out of her wits. Isn’t this a special situation?
Shen Xiaolou already knew that since the original person came to Zhuangzi more than ten years ago, the output of Zhuangzi has never been sent to the capital. He said that it was his wife's order that all the profits from Zhuangzi should be used to support the original person.

It sounds very virtuous and generous, but how much food can such a small village harvest with more than 100 acres of land and low yield?

Yes, it is enough to feed a child, but feeding and raising well are two different things.According to Li's mother, Lin's cheap sister, who was only one year younger than her, lived the same life as her in the house.

Of course Shen Xiaolou is the earth, the earth of hell.

The original person was just one year old when he was sent to Zhuangzi. What does such a young child know?Money touches people's hearts. Didn't this money fall into the hands of Mother Li in the end?Shen Xiaolou didn't believe that someone as smart as Lin could not think of this?
Huh, how could she not know?I'm afraid she did this deliberately, otherwise why would she choose someone like Mother Li?Didn’t the original biological mother have a trusted servant?Mrs. Lin must know exactly what Mrs. Li has done over the years.This woman is not simple!
Mother Li has swallowed so much money from her, and she still wants to die?Not that good!If she didn't pay back all the money, she would sharpen it with a soft knife.

"Girl, we've been out for a long time, let's go back." Erya was worried that the girl was freezing, so she urged her to go back.

Shen Xiaolou was also tired from walking. It was too cold outside. She was wrapped so tightly, but she still felt the cold wind going into her bones. "Go back." The chicken soup was warm on the stove, and she went back to drink a bowl of it.

On the way back, she talked to Erya about the enemy in the village next door, and taught her, "...Such people have some brain problems. If they meet, stay far away, and they will be infected."

Shen Xiaolou always stayed away from such people, who would block her way of making money.

Back at her village, Yang Zhuangtou was looking for her.
